ASP Quantity for a form (NOT USING DATABASE)

[cngonda]

Hi, I'm pretty new to ASP so please bear with me...

My client would like me to create an order form that allows her customers to order her book and enter the quantity if they want more than one book. She wants it all done on one form on one page, so they click whether they want the audio download or paperback book and then they can type a quantity for each. I've had some issues creating a code that calculates a total and sends all sets of data needed for the merchant (amount, quantity, and version). Everything I've done just doesn't calculate.... Is there a way to do this without having to create a database??

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Definitely there is! So I'm guessing on your first web page you've got a radio button (named radOrder for example with values of "paperback" and "audio"), you've got a textbox for the quantity (txtQuantity), and a submit button. All of these contained within a <form> element set to post the results to a the next page (named processOrder.asp for example).

On the processOrder.asp page you'll want to have code like this:

<%@SCRIPT language="vbscript"%>
tOrder = Request.Form("radOrder")
tQuantity = Request.Form("txtQuantity")
 
if tOrder = "paperback" then
tPrice = 50.75
else
tPrice = 25.00
end if
 
tTotalCost = tPrice * tQuantity
 
Response.Write(tTotalCost)
 

And then do whatever else you want with the total cost. Hopefully my syntax is correct.. I haven't used ASP in a while.

Hope this answers your question!
